Abstract
An exercise training device for enabling a user to practice velocity weight training includes a frame, a weight support associated with the frame and a dampening assembly associated with the weight support. The dampening assembly may be configured to retard movement of the weight support through a reverse range of motion.
Claims29
An exercise training device for velocity weight training, said training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a weight support associated with said frame;
- a dampening assembly associated with said weight support, said dampening assembly configured to selectively retard movement of said weight support through a reverse range of motion.
An exercise training device for velocity weight training, said training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a variable weight resistance associated with said frame;
- a dampening assembly associated with said weight resistance, said dampening assembly configured to retard movement of said weight resistance from the apex of a working range of motion through a reverse range of motion.
A dampening assembly for use with exercise training equipment comprising:
- a base lever configured to be supported on a stationary surface;
- a weight lever configured to be secured to a weight support;
- and
- a dampener operably associated with said base lever and said weight lever, said dampener configured to retard movement of said weight support through a reverse range of motion.
1 more element
A method for facilitating velocity weight training, comprising the steps of:
- providing an exercise training device having a base, a variable weight resistance configured to allow training movement relative to said base through a working range of motion, and a dampening assembly interposed between said weight resistance and said base, said a dampening assembly associated with said weight resistance, said dampening assembly configured to selectively retard movement of said weight resistance through a reverse range of motion;
- setting a predetermined effective load for a particular user and exercise;
- moving the weight resistance through a working range including a throw range of motion;
- and
- automatically dampening said weight resistance for controlled return from an apex of said throw range of motion to a starting position.
